One of the records I can’t wait to listen to is the sophomore album from Southern, Californian band The New Division. Â “Together We Shine” will be out on March 18th via Division 87 Records and is the culmination of 2 years of hard work and utter chaos. Â What was initially to be the follow up to 2011’s Shadows was completely discarded and a new vision was appropriated in the project’s signature sound. Â One year into production, John Kunkel’s (writer/vocalist) hard drive was completely shredded and all of his backs up files were error ridden– he was back to square one. Â Frustrated, dejected and in the midst of abandoning the album, he decided to give the writing process one more try.
I’m glad he took another stab at it. Â Check out “Stockholm”, our first taster of what’s to come from the upcoming album.
